Pigeons on the Roof in Sun City? Get Pigeon Control

City Wide Pest Control has handled pigeon control in Sun City and nearby Maricopa County communities for over 40 years.

Residential Pigeon Removal in Sun City for Local Homeowners

Pigeons settle in fast around Sun City homes, and once a flock picks a roosting spot on your roof, patio cover or tile, it tends to stay. Their droppings can stain paint and stucco and wear on roofing and concrete over time. Our team removes the birds and then closes off the places they like to perch and nest, so the problem does not circle back.
City Wide Pest Control is locally owned and operated, and family owned since 1986. For bird control in Sun City, we install deterrents and exclusion barriers that move pigeons off your property and discourage them from returning, including on solar panels, tile roofs and other favorite perches. Residential customers never sign a contract.

Why Pigeons Are Worth Removing

Pigeon droppings are acidic, so over time they can eat into roofing, paint, stucco, concrete and car finishes. Dried droppings can also carry fungi and bacteria that may affect health when the dust is stirred into the air.
Birds that nest on a structure can bring along lice, ticks and mites, and these parasites sometimes wander indoors. Nests and debris under solar panels are a special concern for homes with rooftop arrays, since buildup can hurt panel output and create a fire hazard. Unless the roosting spots are properly sealed or protected, pigeons tend to come back to them season after season.

Pigeon Control Around Sun City's Lakes and Parks

The Sun City CDP has a total population of 37,486 and 26,626 housing units, including 16,332 single-unit detached homes and 7,140 single-unit attached homes (ACS 2020 to 2024 5-year). That is a lot of rooflines, patio covers and ledges where pigeons can settle. Sun City’s CC&Rs state that no pigeons, chickens, ducks, turkeys or other poultry, and no swine, horses, cows or other livestock, shall ever be kept on any lot.
Around Viewpoint Lake, which sits next to Lakeview Center and is circled by Hillside Park, RCSC rules prohibit feeding waterfowl or fish and depositing trash in or around the lake. Maricopa County has no code making it illegal to feed wild pigeons but discourages it, and points residents to their homeowners association for rules on feeding wildlife. If birds have settled on your roof, we handle bird removal in Sun City and the exclusion work that keeps them from returning.

How Our Pigeon Service Works

Step 1
Assessment
First we inspect the property to find where birds roost and nest, how they are getting in beneath panels and tiles, and how active they are.
Step 2
Deterrent Installation
We fit spikes, tensioned wire and netting along ledges, rooflines, patio covers and other perches so pigeons have nowhere to land.
Step 3
Solar Panel Exclusion
We run mesh screening around solar arrays to close the gap beneath the panels, taking away the sheltered nesting spot pigeons prefer.
Step 4
Nest and Debris Removal
We clear away existing nests, eggs and built-up droppings, then clean the surfaces they have soiled.
Step 5
Follow-Up
We revisit the property to check that the deterrents are holding, the birds have moved on and no new nests have started.

Pigeons You May See Around Sun City

Rock Pigeon
Columba livia
The feral pigeon is a stocky gray bird, about 11 to 14 inches long, with a shimmer of green and purple on the neck. Descended from cliff dwellers, it sees rooftops, ledges and overhangs as natural homes. It adapts and can breed all year in Arizona’s warm climate, raising several broods.
Feral pigeons do well wherever homes offer solar panels, tile roofs, easy food (pet food, birdseed, trash) and water (pools, irrigation). They are loyal to a good spot: once a flock has claimed a roost, it keeps returning unless access is physically blocked.

Family owned since 1986. No contracts required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you keep pigeons on a lot in Sun City?
Sun City’s CC&Rs state that no pigeons, chickens, ducks, turkeys or other poultry, and no swine, horses, cows or other livestock, shall ever be kept on any lot. If you have questions about how that applies to your property, your homeowners association is the right place to ask. If wild pigeons have moved onto your roof, we can remove them and block their return.
Maricopa County has no code making it illegal to feed wild pigeons, but it discourages the practice and points residents to their homeowners association for rules on feeding wildlife. Around Viewpoint Lake, RCSC rules prohibit feeding waterfowl or fish and depositing trash in or around the lake. Either way, steady food draws flocks, so cutting it off helps.
Yes. Sun City has 16,332 single-unit detached homes and 7,140 single-unit attached homes (ACS 2020 to 2024 5-year), and pigeons can settle on either. We inspect the roofline, patio covers and solar panels, then install the spikes, wire, netting or mesh that fits. Residential customers never sign a contract.
Pigeons are loyal to places that give them food, water and shelter, and a roof, ledge or solar array that has worked once is remembered. Cleaning up food and spills helps, but the lasting fix is physical: spikes, wire, netting and panel mesh that take away the landing and nesting spots so the birds move on.
Feral pigeons can breed all year in Arizona’s warm climate, so eggs can turn up in any month. They typically hatch in about 17 to 19 days, and a pair may raise several broods in a year. Removing nests and eggs early, then blocking the spot, interrupts that cycle.
Yes. Pigeons treat rooftops, ledges and overhangs as roosts, usually settling in toward evening and heading out to feed in the morning. They also favor places they already know, including old nest sites, which is why we clear nests and droppings and block the spot rather than simply chasing the birds away.
